Missing Book and Power

ASH STEPHAN'S

It's been a week since she fainted. She's still in the infirmary inside the Academy. "When will she going to wake up?" Louie asked. "We don't know." Astrid answered him. She didn't flinch or wake up for weeks but we can see the changes on her body. Her skin became cold and pale evene her lips, Her hair gets more longer than before that's what we noticed about her.

We didn't sure about the attitude her personality. Someone run inside the infirmary and approach us. "What happened?" Iris asked. Our forehead creased when we read what is on his mind. "The Prophecy Book stole by someone inside the library!" he exclaimed. We gaze at each other and thinking who stole the book. "Did already found the culprit?" i asked him. He shook his head.

"Where is the student council? That is their responsibility not ours." Iris said. "But you have a power to the students buddy to search for the book." he answered back. We nodded. "Give an order to the guards that all of the rooms including the dormitory are under investigation but don't go inside Kharis' room we're going to investigate there. Understand?" Victor ordered. He nodded and go outside the room.

"Why did you order it?" Astrid asked. Iris and Chloe is in the deep thoughts that is why we can't talk to them. "I need it too even though i hate invading someone's privacy but we need to do it. The Prophecy Book is a sacred book for us. Our destiny and history are written in there." he explained. She's stil asleep so we decided to help everyone find the book.

We search around the dormitories even our dorms we search for the book but there is no book. "I'm going to Kharis' room." i presented. "I'm coming with you." Victor said. I have this feeling that the book is in her room. "We can't just judge Kharis she's innocent about that book, it might put her life in danger." Victor said. I'm thinking that too but if she have the book maybe she have a purpose but what is it.

We reached her dorm and by just holding the door knob i saw what happened last time inside her room. Unbelievable! Her wrist are wounded because of the book. "Don't go inside!" he hold the doorknob. His forehead creased. "Why?" he asked me. Feel the aura of her room and hold the door for a couple of minutes you will see what happened last time." i said and he did what i said. After couple of minutes he gasped and his eyes are wide open like my reaction earlier.

"That's the craziest thing that she did!" he exclaimed. We just palmed our forehead. "She even draw her blood in the book!" he added. I shook my head. "Even me. I don't want to believe it but that's what happened last time inside this room." i explained, I can't even believe what happened inside her room. We know that he hates it but we need to look into it.

"So you want still to go inside her dorm?" i asked him. He nodded. "We still need to investigate her room since the book is in her care." Victor said and sighed heavily. We will be doing this unwillingly because of our reponsibility as a part of higher official students. We both nodded and gulp because of nervousness.

She might get mad but we need to do this for everyone's sake we need to investigate her. We open the door and we saw nothing but darkness. We tried opening her lights but there is nothing in there. "Why are here inside her room!?" we heard someone exclaimed. We entered andd the door automatically closed. "Grandmama?" Victor call. "Why are you here? You shouldn't be here inside your sister's room! She's fuming mad right now!" she exclaimed and remove the illusion.

"You can't take the book from her. She's the keeper of that book. If you try to stole it from her you might see her mad." she explained. We nodded and she give our light. We immediately got out of the room and run upstairs. Who is her sister? I thought she's dead? Wer reach our dorms exhaustedly.

"What happened?" Uno asked. We shook our heads. "Her room is off-limits. Someone give us an ultimatum." Victor said. "How about the book?" Iris asked. "There was nothing there but darkness." i said. "Then where is the book?" they ask. We shook our heads in unison. "As i said there's nothing in there but darkness." i said. "Because she's mad." Victor added.

We shook our heads and sighed heavily in stress. "Let's visit her inside the infirmary." I said and they nodded. We teleport infront of the infirmary and we saw how people are panicking inside the infirmary. We immediately run inside to know what is happening. "What happened?" Ice ask. "Ms. Patridge is been acting weird earlier!" the nurse said, exhaustedly.

"She told us that she's thirsty and we give her water but her feeling is still the same and her body started to tremble. Her hair became Ash gray, her eyes became violet and gold but it turning into crimson red but her wrist are bleeding non-stop." the staff told us. "She made this mess." she added.

We roamed our eyes around and the mess in the whole infirmary is like a chaos that she's been battling with. "Let's go find her before it's too late." Astrid said, calmly. "I know this thing would come when i saw her in my vision." she added. We nodded and try to track her and we saw her where she is at this moment. I can see her, she's crying right now. Her wrist are still bleeding her body became pale because of the lost of blood.

"Come on, we should teleport now at her location. She might die." i said and we hold our hands and arrive at her location using the teleport. We saw her in an actual and her white cloth are full of blood and dirt. I run to her and hug her. "Ash.." she whispered and she cried more.

'She should forget this' Victor talked to me. I shook my head in disagreement. "I don't want to suffer.." she whispered to me. "Shhh. Stop crying. Things will get better for you. We're going to help you." i said. I gaze at the others and they run to hug her. "We're here. We won't let you suffer. We will help you in our way we can." Iris said while Astrid just hugging her.

We heard her cries and mumbled the she don't want to suffer. "Aww!" we heard her reacted. She start to cry for more and our heart are still in pain seeing her crying. "Are you mad?" tanong ni Astrid. She screamed in pain we saw her wrist bled more so we've got to teleport her inside her room. We let her drink a sleeping potion for her to be able to sleep for a week-- again.

"We should clean her wounds." Uno said. Victor run inside the kitchen to get some basin with water and towel. The girls did the cleaning and changing her clothes while we--- the boys are preparing the med kits to clean her wound. We can't smell her blood. I bet she drink the covering spell for her blood but as time pass by the smell of her blood change. It's not the same as human.

It's been only 5 hours since we arrived here inside her dormitory. "Let's find the book." Uno said and we start searching the whole room and we saw the book under her bed and as we open the book there was nothing in there. We stared at each other and her wrist still bleeding. we open the gauze and use some of her blood. The letters came out and to our shock we read the pages about the Queen of Immortals and The Luna-- Emblem.

We cleaned her wrist while the others are reading the book. I noticed some form of tattoo on her wirst but it isn't an ordinary tattoo. My forehead creased when i saw the black and red color of the tattoo. "This isn't good. Give me the book we need to see this." i rush them. They followed me and I'm searching for the Emblems. I find the emblem the same as in the book that draw.

But it is a Luna Emblem. That is the most powerful emblem owned by a powerful woman--- the queen of immortals. "Impossible.." i whispered. "What did you see?" they asked. I give the book to them and continue cleaning her wound and covered it with gauze since it's wounded. It will take sometime for her to recover and heal. "Why the Luna Emblem?" Astrid asked.

"Once she recover we need to train her. She can't control the power that she has. She might die in the process if she didn't control her power." i said. "But what is she?" Iris asked. "She's the queen of Immortals--- a living queen of Immortals." i answered. We fell into silence. "Don't tell me she has the emblem?" Astrid said. I nodded and rested beside them. We just watching her sleeping.

"She's very innocent how our world runs and her changes arises because of this damn book!?" she exclaimed We're really shock about the truth but we need to investigate what really happen 18 years ago. "Wait!" i call Victor. "Does this woman told us that she's your sister?" i asked him.

He nodded. "We're not sure about that but we should go to Delphi to ask if she's telling the truth." he said. We sighed and just watch her sleeping peacefully. We're still talking what we're going to do to her when she wakes up. We don't know the plan. After a while we heard someone knocked on the door.

"Who is that?" Iris asked. "It's me. Winter. The Emperor are ordered you to come by to the Palace. He needs to discuss something or he's coming here to her dormitory. He'll be giving you minute to come by." she said. Winter is a student council President in the Academy. She's part of the Senior Level here but in human world they called them graduating students.

"We're coming later. Just give us time." Victor said. We glance at her. She's sleeping peacefully right now but maybe later she's going to wake up. "Let's go." I said. I walk to her bed and kiss her forehead. "Rest and gain your strength." i whispered to her. I stood up and watch her for sec and teleport to the palace.

I waited for them and after a sec they already arrived in the lobby. "Where's my father?" Victor asked, his father's butler. "Royal Highness..." he called. "This way." he guided us to the Emperor's study room. "Your Majesty, the Princes and Princesses aer alrady arrived." he announced. "Let them in!" he said authoratively.

This is the scariest aura that we don't want to see. "How's the investigation and searching operation?" he asked, stoic. We gulped and nervousness rises up. The beat of hearts is not the same as before like we're confident that we already solved the case but in this state that we're protecting someone, we need to lie for her protection.

We shook our head in unison. "We didn't find the book." he lied. I saw Astrid and Iris cross their finger behind their backs. "How did it happened that you didn't find the Prophetiae Liber!?" he exclaimed. We gulped again. I can feel the rooms aura and it's not good. "Tell us---" someone cut off.

"I have the book!" we heard a girl's familiar voice. Our eyes widen when we saw her changes and it look really beautiful in her.

KHARIS SELENE

I slowly open my eyes. I saw my dorm's ceiling. I heard them talking earlier about the and they even use my blood to open the book. I know that i fell that I'm in coma for a week and a half. "Where's the book?" i mumbled. I heard people outside that the book is missing. I know that I have the book to find some answers to my questions and all of that already answered except Who is my family? Where are they?

I found the book in my study table. I immediately got up even though my body is still weak. I changed my clothes into a comfortable ones. Their might be invading the student's privacy so might as well surrender this book to the Emperor. I saw my changes last time. My hair turn Ash gray, my original eyes color melt down the contact lenses, my fangs grew, even being a vampire, wolf and witch are already arises but there is a potion that holding on my powers to get out from my body.

The power that i have are four times stronger than the royalties power. I can't control it. Earlier this day i walk up and releases it without controling the power. The power is over taking my body that is why my emblem are bleeding everytime the power wants to get out of my body.

I run as fast as i could to reach the Palace. I try to locate them and i saw them inside the Emperor's study and in any moment he might explode in anger for not finding the book. I open the door quickly. "I have the book!" i exhaustedly raised my hand.

I'm going to jail in the dungeon for borrowing this book! Ahh! I will let Batman to do everything!
